D-Mannose | First-line therapy

Nearly 90% of urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli bacteria. D-Mannose is a sugar present in fruits such as cranberries, apples and blueberries. It is not metabolized and does not effect blood sugar like regular sugar. It does, however, bind to the surfaces of E. coli bacteria so their attachment pili  are unable to glue themselves to the lining of your urinary tract. D-Mannose packages the bacteria up and sends them packing out through your urine. Dosing information and length of therapy is listed in the book.

For most people suffering from a UTI this is the only supplement you need. If you have an E. coli based urinary tract infection, D-Mannose will wipe it out just as good as any antibiotic prescription.

Biofilm Disruptors | For stubborn & recurrent

From the UTI Healing Manual:

“Stubborn bacterial infections are often resistant to antibiotics, fluid flushing, proper nutrition and other practices because they have created a protective shield around themselves. Certain bacteria have the ability to protect their growing colony by creating an external barrier around themselves called a biofilm. Biofilms enclose the bacteria in a matrix of DNA, protein, sugars and can even use your body’s circulating blood cells and fibrin. This “slime” protects them while they continue to grow and infect you.”

Enzyme Based

The following products use a combination of enzymes to break apart and dissolve biofilm sources, uncovering the “bad guys” and allowing your immune system to wipe them out.

InterFase Plus by Klaire Labs

Biofilm Defense by Kirkman

Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin is quite a remarkable compound, that’s not only been proven to break up tough biofilms but also has been researched to be antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and protective against cancer.

Nattokinase

Nattokinase is an enzyme isolated from the traditional Japanese food Natto, which happens to be fermented soy beans. Nattokinase breaks up the fibrin component of the biofilms. It also works as a blood thinner and purifier helping many people with certain cardiovascular concerns. If you are on any anticoagulant therapy (warfarin/Coumadin, Plavix/clopidogrel, heparin, aspirin, etc) do not take unless discussed with and approved by your doctor.

Monolaurin

Monolaurin is a monoglyceride found in coconut oil that has been found to be a powerful antimicrobial and able to wipe out gram positive bacteria. E. coli bacteria are gram negative, so infections that aren’t responding to D-Mannose can be tackled by taking a monolaurin supplement.

Herbal Combination

Turmeric and olive leaf extract work great to clear a UTI individually but they are virtually unstoppable as a team. Turmeric is a powerful biofilm disruptor and anti-inflammatory while olive leaf extract is a powerful natural antibiotic. Many people claim these two products to work wonders.

Turmeric/Curcumin

Turmeric is an orange Indian spice that has a very powerful compound called curcumin. Many of the positive health benefits from turmeric come from the curcumin present. You can take turmeric as a supplement or use it as a culinary spice in meal preparations.

Olive Leaf Extract

The olive tree might just be the most life-sustaining and versatile plant on the planet. You always hear about olive oil which is pressed from the olives but one of the best known secrets is the antimicrobial properties found in the olive leaf. It contains oleuropeins which have been proven to destroy bacteria, cold and flu bugs and yeast.
